I found Borat funny, but i think it would offend some people.

The nude wrestling match with his boss was gross.

Not one for the kids really.

Not sure about a movie, but here's one for Thal; opera rather than movie and incomplete at that, but how's about "Pianistimoses und Aron"? Go on - make yourself a toasted bacon sandwich and sit down and listen to it...

Best,

I am watching Japanese historical drama's. Much more interesting than Hollywood.

There aren't many historical western movies that have the quality of movies like Kindom of Heaven or the HBO Rome mini-series. Most of them are just... how should I put it, stupid parodies on the knightly stereotype.

Kingdom of Heaven was good, but it wasn't that good.  Rome on the other hand was awesome(have it on DVD.)

Yes, but most of the other historic movies in the west that I see are just weak. Kingdom of Heaven also had this tendency. The main character for example in Kingdom of Heaven has this problem as well. But it wasn't as bad as usual.
